Description

本発明は通常１Ｖ〜１０Ｖインタフェースと称されるインタフェースでの温度補償技術に関する。   The present invention relates to a temperature compensation technique at an interface commonly referred to as a 1V-10V interface.

関連技術の説明
こんにち１Ｖ〜１０Ｖインタフェースは種々の産業分野において電子デバイスを制御するデファクトスタンダードとなっている。光デバイスの分野では、１Ｖ〜１０Ｖインタフェースは例えば単純なポテンショメータまたは外部の電子制御回路を介した光源強度の調光に用いられる。一般に、光デバイスはインタフェースの電圧によって制御される。 Description of Related Art Today, the 1V-10V interface has become the de facto standard for controlling electronic devices in various industrial fields. In the field of optical devices, the 1V to 10V interface is used for dimming light source intensity via, for example, a simple potentiometer or external electronic control circuit. In general, an optical device is controlled by an interface voltage.

外部の抵抗、例えばポテンショメータの抵抗の値に比例する電圧を得る最良の手段は、インタフェース内に電流発生器を設けることである。このようにすれば、インタフェースでの電圧がオームの法則によって抵抗値に応じて定められる。単純で安価な電流発生器はトランジスタから成り、電流値は基準となるトランジスタの接合領域電圧によって定められる。ただし当該の基準電圧は温度によって大きく変動する。たいていの場合、負の影響を有する当該の温度依存性を補償しなければならない。   The best way to obtain a voltage proportional to the value of the external resistance, for example the resistance of the potentiometer, is to provide a current generator in the interface. In this way, the voltage at the interface is determined according to the resistance value according to Ohm's law. A simple and inexpensive current generator consists of a transistor whose current value is determined by the junction region voltage of the reference transistor. However, the reference voltage varies greatly with temperature. In most cases, the temperature dependence with negative effects must be compensated.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the dependent claims. The features of the present invention can be obtained from the entire specification, claims, and drawings, and can be the subject of the present invention alone or in any combination.

図面の簡単な説明
以下に本発明を実施例に則して詳細に説明する。図１には本発明の装置の第１の実施例のブロック図が示されている。図２には本発明の装置の第２の実施例のブロック図が示されている。 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to examples. FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a first embodiment of the device according to the invention. FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a second embodiment of the device according to the invention.

本発明の実施例の詳細な説明
図１，図２には本発明の電流発生器の第１の実施例および第２の実施例が示されている。 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION FIGS. 1 and 2 show a first embodiment and a second embodiment of the current generator of the present invention.

本発明の装置では、入力電圧としての第１の実施例のＤＣ電圧Ｖ１またはＤＣ電圧Ｖ２から温度に対して安定な出力電流を形成し、出力端子１０で利用できるようにすることを重要な目的としている。ここで、本発明の装置は外部の可変抵抗に接続されて用いられる温度安定型の電流発生器であり、ここで設定された可変の抵抗値に比例する電圧が得られる。外部の可変抵抗は例えば図示されていないポテンショメータである。当該の電圧の調整により、１Ｖ〜１０Ｖインタフェースにおいても１Ｖ〜１０Ｖの範囲を超える電圧を形成することができる。   In the apparatus of the present invention, it is important to form a stable output current with respect to temperature from the DC voltage V1 or the DC voltage V2 of the first embodiment as an input voltage so that it can be used at the output terminal 10. It is said. Here, the device of the present invention is a temperature-stable current generator used by being connected to an external variable resistor, and a voltage proportional to the variable resistance value set here is obtained. The external variable resistor is, for example, a potentiometer (not shown). By adjusting the voltage, a voltage exceeding the range of 1V to 10V can be formed even in the 1V to 10V interface.

２つの実施例の双方において、本発明の装置はバイポーラｐｎｐの第１のトランジスタＱ１；Ｑ２を有しており、これらのトランジスタのコレクタを介して接続された出力端子１０の一方の端子へ出力電流が送出される。出力端子１０の他方の端子はグラウンドＧへ接続されている。   In both embodiments, the device of the present invention comprises a bipolar pnp first transistor Q1; Q2, and the output current to one terminal of the output terminal 10 connected via the collector of these transistors. Is sent out. The other terminal of the output terminal 10 is connected to the ground G.

図１では、トランジスタＱ１のベースが抵抗回路網を介して入力電圧Ｖ１へ接続されており、当該の抵抗回路網の全抵抗は単一の抵抗値Ｒｅｑ１として示されている。 In FIG. 1, the base of the transistor Q1 is connected to the input voltage V1 via a resistor network, and the total resistance of the resistor network is shown as a single resistance value R eq1 .

当該の抵抗回路網は、実際には、第１の抵抗Ｒ１、第１のＮＴＣ抵抗（負の温度係数を有する抵抗）ＮＴＣ１、ならびに、第２の抵抗Ｒ２および第２のＮＴＣ抵抗ＮＴＣ２の並列部を直列に接続した回路から成る。   The resistor network actually includes a first resistor R1, a first NTC resistor (a resistor having a negative temperature coefficient) NTC1, and a parallel portion of the second resistor R2 and the second NTC resistor NTC2. It consists of a circuit connected in series.

また、第１のトランジスタＱ１のベースは抵抗Ｒ４を介してグラウンドＧへ接続されている。   The base of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the ground G through a resistor R4.

図２の装置はバイポーラｐｎｐの第２のトランジスタＱ３を有しており、第１のトランジスタＱ２のエミッタおよび第２のトランジスタＱ３のベースは抵抗回路網を介して入力電圧Ｖ２へ接続されており、当該の抵抗回路網の全抵抗は単一の抵抗値Ｒｅｑ２として示されている。 The device of FIG. 2 has a bipolar pnp second transistor Q3, the emitter of the first transistor Q2 and the base of the second transistor Q3 being connected to the input voltage V2 via a resistor network, The total resistance of the resistor network is shown as a single resistance value R eq2 .

当該の抵抗回路網は、実際には、第１の抵抗Ｒ５、第１のＮＴＣ抵抗ＮＴＣ３、ならびに、第２の抵抗Ｒ６および第２のＮＴＣ抵抗ＮＴＣ４の並列部を直列に接続した回路から成る。   The resistor network actually includes a circuit in which a first resistor R5, a first NTC resistor NTC3, and a parallel portion of a second resistor R6 and a second NTC resistor NTC4 are connected in series.

図示されているように、第１のトランジスタＱ２のエミッタは第２のトランジスタＱ３のベースに接続されており、第２のトランジスタＱ３のコレクタは第１のトランジスタＱ２のベースに接続されている。第２のトランジスタＱ３のエミッタは入力電圧Ｖ２に接続されており、第１のトランジスタＱ２のベースおよびこれに接続された第２のトランジスタＱ３のコレクタは抵抗Ｒ７を介してグラウンドＧに接続されている。   As shown, the emitter of the first transistor Q2 is connected to the base of the second transistor Q3, and the collector of the second transistor Q3 is connected to the base of the first transistor Q2. The emitter of the second transistor Q3 is connected to the input voltage V2, and the base of the first transistor Q2 and the collector of the second transistor Q3 connected thereto are connected to the ground G through the resistor R7. .

わかりやすくするために、２つの実施例では第１のトランジスタＱ１；Ｑ２のベース電流および第２のトランジスタＱ３のベース電流を無視できるものとしている。   For the sake of clarity, the two embodiments assume that the base current of the first transistor Q1; Q2 and the base current of the second transistor Q3 are negligible.

図１の装置に戻って、第１のトランジスタＱ１のベース電流を無視できるとすると、抵抗Ｒ４を介した電圧は、抵抗Ｒ４，Ｒｅｑ１の接続部の電流に抵抗Ｒ４の抵抗値を乗算した値と等しくなる。この電流は、給電電圧Ｖ１を抵抗Ｒ４，Ｒｅｑ１の和で除算した値に等しい。言い換えると、第１のトランジスタＱ１のベース電圧は入力電圧Ｖ１を分圧器Ｒ４，Ｒｅｑ１によって分圧した値によって表すことができる。 Returning to the apparatus of FIG. 1, assuming that the base current of the first transistor Q1 can be ignored, the voltage through the resistor R4 is obtained by multiplying the current at the connection of the resistors R4 and Req1 by the resistance value of the resistor R4. Is equal to This current is equal to the value obtained by dividing the power supply voltage V1 by the sum of the resistors R4 and Req1 . In other words, the base voltage of the first transistor Q1 can be expressed by a value obtained by dividing the input voltage V1 by the voltage dividers R4 and Req1 .

抵抗Ｒ３を介した電圧は、給電電圧Ｖ１から第１のトランジスタＱ１のベース‐エミッタ接合領域の電圧および抵抗Ｒ４を介した電圧を差し引いたものに等しい。第１のトランジスタＱ１のコレクタからの出力電流は抵抗Ｒ３を介した電圧を抵抗Ｒ３の抵抗値で除算した値に等しく、つまり、第１のトランジスタＱ１のベース‐エミッタ接合領域の電圧降下および抵抗Ｒｅｑ１の抵抗値の関数によって表される。 The voltage through the resistor R3 is equal to the power supply voltage V1 minus the voltage at the base-emitter junction region of the first transistor Q1 and the voltage through the resistor R4. The output current from the collector of the first transistor Q1 is equal to the voltage across the resistor R3 divided by the resistance value of the resistor R3, that is, the voltage drop in the base-emitter junction region of the first transistor Q1 and the resistance R It is represented by a function of the resistance value of eq1 .

温度が上昇すると、第１のトランジスタＱ１のベース‐エミッタ接合領域での電圧は低下し、インタフェース電流は増大する。同時に、温度上昇により２つのＮＴＣ抵抗（ＮＴＣ１，ＮＴＣ２）の抵抗値が低下し、その結果、抵抗回路網Ｒｅｑ１の抵抗が低下して、抵抗Ｒ４を介した電圧、すなわち第１のトランジスタＱ１のベース電圧が増大する。これにより第１のトランジスタＱ１のエミッタ電圧は一定に保持される。よって抵抗Ｒ３を介した電圧、ひいては、第１のトランジスタＱ１のコレクタからの出力電流が一定に保持される。 As the temperature increases, the voltage at the base-emitter junction region of the first transistor Q1 decreases and the interface current increases. At the same time, the resistance value of the two NTC resistors (NTC1, NTC2) decreases due to the temperature rise, and as a result, the resistance of the resistor network Req1 decreases, and the voltage across the resistor R4, that is, the first transistor Q1 The base voltage increases. As a result, the emitter voltage of the first transistor Q1 is kept constant. Therefore, the voltage via the resistor R3, and hence the output current from the collector of the first transistor Q1, is held constant.

この効果は唯一のＮＴＣ、特にＮＴＣ１を用いるのみで達成可能である。ただし、２つの固定値抵抗Ｒ１，Ｒ２と対応する２つのＮＴＣ抵抗ＮＴＣ１，ＮＴＣ２とを用いて、抵抗回路網Ｒｅｑ１を形成する全ての素子の抵抗値およびＮＴＣ温度係数を適切に選択することにより、温度ドリフトの補償効果をいっそう向上させることができる。なお固定値抵抗Ｒ２はＮＴＣ抵抗ＮＴＣ２に接続されている。 This effect can be achieved by using only one NTC, especially NTC1. However, by using the two fixed value resistors R1 and R2 and the corresponding two NTC resistors NTC1 and NTC2, by appropriately selecting the resistance values and NTC temperature coefficients of all elements forming the resistor network R eq1 Thus, the compensation effect of temperature drift can be further improved. The fixed value resistor R2 is connected to the NTC resistor NTC2.

図２の実施例では、第１のトランジスタＱ２および第２のトランジスタＱ３のベース電流を無視できるものとして、第１のトランジスタＱ２のコレクタからの出力電流は同じ第１のトランジスタＱ２がエミッタを介して抵抗回路網Ｒｅｑ２から受け取る電流に等しい。当該の電流は第２のトランジスタＱ３のベース‐エミッタ接合領域の電圧を抵抗回路網Ｒｅｑ２の抵抗値で除算した値にほぼ等しい。つまり、第１のトランジスタＱ２のコレクタからの出力電流は、第２のトランジスタＱ３のベース‐エミッタ接合領域での電圧降下と抵抗回路網Ｒｅｑ２の抵抗値との関数である。抵抗Ｒ７を介した電流はバイポーラの第１のトランジスタＱ２および第２のトランジスタＱ３を分極化するのに必要な電流である。 In the embodiment of FIG. 2, it is assumed that the base currents of the first transistor Q2 and the second transistor Q3 are negligible, and the output current from the collector of the first transistor Q2 is the same through the emitter of the first transistor Q2. Equal to the current received from the resistor network R eq2 . The current is approximately equal to the value obtained by dividing the voltage at the base-emitter junction region of the second transistor Q3 by the resistance value of the resistor network Req2 . That is, the output current from the collector of the first transistor Q2 is a function of the voltage drop at the base-emitter junction region of the second transistor Q3 and the resistance value of the resistor network R eq2 . The current through the resistor R7 is a current necessary to polarize the bipolar first transistor Q2 and the second transistor Q3.

温度が上昇すると、第２のトランジスタＱ３のベース‐エミッタ接合領域での電圧降下、ひいては、抵抗回路網Ｒｅｑ２の抵抗値が低下し、これにより出力電流は一定に保持される。 As the temperature rises, the voltage drop in the base-emitter junction region of the second transistor Q3, and hence the resistance value of the resistance network Req2 , decreases, and thereby the output current is kept constant.

この効果は唯一のＮＴＣ、例えばＮＴＣ３を用いるのみで達成可能である。ただし、２つの固定値抵抗Ｒ５，Ｒ６と対応する２つのＮＴＣ抵抗ＮＴＣ３，ＮＴＣ４とを用いて、抵抗回路網Ｒｅｑ１を形成する全ての素子の抵抗値およびＮＴＣ温度係数を適切に選択することにより、温度ドリフトの補償効果をいっそう向上させることができる。なお固定値抵抗Ｒ６はＮＴＣ抵抗ＮＴＣ４に接続されている。 This effect can be achieved by using only one NTC, for example NTC3. However, by using the two fixed value resistors R5 and R6 and the corresponding two NTC resistors NTC3 and NTC4, by appropriately selecting the resistance values and NTC temperature coefficients of all elements forming the resistor network Req1 Thus, the compensation effect of temperature drift can be further improved. The fixed value resistor R6 is connected to the NTC resistor NTC4.

図１の実施例に対する図２の実施例の主な利点は、出力電流が供給電圧Ｖ２によって変化しないということである。   The main advantage of the embodiment of FIG. 2 over the embodiment of FIG. 1 is that the output current does not vary with the supply voltage V2.
